Civet cats? Huh, that's very odd considering they are a wild animal and a threatened species. I have worked with many Civets (Palm civets mostly) and Genet cats, which are very similar. They come in and out of Oregon frequently when they fall into the wrong hands, and they are illegal to own here in Oregon, but the Fish and Wildlife never wants anything to do with them.


Civet cats are Beautiful animals! Imagine a long body like that of a pine martin or weasel, with short legs, big eyes, cat like ears and face (but more pointy). All adds up to cuteness overload!
